Guest Chris53 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Can somebody confirm whether or not Tell Me Why was ever issued as a demo Cheers Chris
Pete S Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Can somebody confirm whether or not Tell Me Why was ever issued as a demo Cheers Chris It was, mono/stereo
Benji Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Never seen an issue of it. Only stereo/mono demos. bootleg is mono both sides, isn't it?

Arthur Fenn Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Hi Benji, a handful of issues turned up 3/4 yrs ago, flip side is just an ok ballad looks nice tho
Benji Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 https://www.popsike.com/70sNorthern-Soul-45-Life-Tell-Me-Why-REPRISE-1974-DJ-WL-EX-Listen/180851521182.html I didn't get half of that on Ebay. Must be doing something awfully wrong...

Dave Pinch Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) heres my issue....note it says 1973 on it not 1974 and is vinyl not styrene Edited March 26, 2013 by dave pinch
Guest Chris53 Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 Theres a demo on ebay mono/ stereo which reads 1974 how can there be a demo after a 1973 issue?
bri pinch Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) Theres a demo on ebay mono/ stereo which reads 1974 how can there be a demo after a 1973 issue? can't answer that one Chris, our issue is on vinyl and certainly says 1973 on it, all the ones on popsike look like styrene issues, and state 1974...wierd Edited March 26, 2013 by bri pinch
bri pinch Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 No mate, the stereo/mono demo is orig...the mono/mono demo is a boot
boba Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 i have a stock copy too. i don't remember the ballad side being anything and i collect sweet soul. mine might be styrene, i have to check.
Dave Pinch Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) most issues are styrene and say 1974. there is a rarer vinyl issue.....that says 1973....just a typo imo...thats the one i have and the one JM auctioned recently and got a good price for.....ive had 2 of these 1973 stockers one i bought in 1995 at `pitchers` in rotherham and the one i have now i won on ebay about 8 years ago...i have also had the mono/stereo orig demo and the mono/mono `counterfeit` demo the vinyl is similar to the aristocrats vinyl issue on warner bros. most likely done at same pressing plant Edited March 27, 2013 by dave pinch
Pete S Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 I had a vinyl issue and it took bloody weeks to shift it, think it went for 70 in the end. As correctly stated, original demo is stereo/mono, boot is mono/mono
Kev John Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) I put a the thread on here last year about the Demo I quoted that i had a Demo Label said MONO both sides but in fact it had a MONO mix on 1 side and a STEREO mix on the other side This confuses the theory of the MONO/ MONO Labeled record atb Kev Edited March 28, 2013 by Kev John
Mark B Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Could it be the issues were pressed up before the demos were sent out just a thought. Great record but is hard to sell
Rick Cooper Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Walt Khan ,the records producer, did the instrumental mix of "I'm Not Strong Enough" and when I went to collect the tape at his studio there was a demo of Life framed on the wall. I told him that the record was known about in the UK. He didn't really seem too bothered about this and I didn't ask him much else. It's strange that even the records producer didn't have a stock copy in late 1975. Rick
